Checkmate. A match between Grand Aunt and Payia comes to an end, with a loss that can never be recovered. Although Grand Aunt declares that she would have the last laugh, that she would be the person to unveil Payia’s evil intentions, she ends up being another casualty to Payia’s selfish war. Love Scheme Evil Scheme wants to portray the lengths a greedy person would go to achieve what she wants, especially when she has nothing to lose (except for her life) and everything to gain. Ultimately the silver lining in this drama is the hope that someone would wise up to her manipulations and lies, and give her a taste of her own medicine. At this point, if Payia disappears from the face of this earth, it wouldn’t be a moment too soon. Man-sai-jing-jing! (I’m so annoyed by her!)

Episode 8

What a heart wrenching episode. We spend the majority of the time waiting to discover the condition of Grand Aunt, hoping that she may recover despite her critical condition. The doctor is not optimistic. But Grand Aunt is such a fighter, even when Nop kidnaps her and tries to kill her at a remote bridge, she doesn’t go down without a fight. She even manages to escape but only to be hit by a truck. So it’s not like Payia and Nop are successful in killing her off, she died escaping- prolonging the inevitable truth, and putting this responsibility onto someone else’s lap.

That lucky person is Grandpa- whose acting is so superb, with his mournful look at the loss of his sister, and his hidden anger at his grandkid, who is not his grandkid – he vows to his sister, before she took her last breath, that he would be the one to pursue the truth, and end this thing. I’m only hoping that it doesn’t mean he’ll be the next to go. Usually when someone adamantly investigates the truth and declares that they will go to hell and high water to right this wrong, they end up dead.

Let’s lay it down and evaluate what’s going on in this game of ‘evil scheme.’ So pretty much everyone in the palace is suspicious of Payia, no one really likes her except for her mother, who’s beginning to question her intentions. Mae Cheun has the most information, and I’m curious why she didn’t go to Grandpa with that. Surely she knew that Grand Aunt had waited for Grandpa to return from the states so she could fill him in? Khun Ying Noppa Dara’s only thread of sympathy to Payia is due to the supposed blood ties. Korya is wising up, even if she is a soft spoken and kind person, she knows something is fishy about Payia. YET no one (aside from the late Grand Aunt) is actively pursuing the truth. I get that Korya is trying to get her memory back (apparently the hypnosis didn’t really work), and that Chisanu has assigned Taeng to investigate why Korya and Payia had been traveling to BKK that one fateful day, yet everyone is just kind of hanging around for Payia to dice and slice as she wishes.

When you think about the role of Khun Id, who is more of an opposing character- which by definition is someone who is stopping the main girl from achieving her goals- is actively holding back a key ingredient in order for Korya to reveal that she is a true heir (that star shaped ring, if you recall.) He is a fine and handsome guy, mind you, but he’s being used as another prolonging tool. But you know, if everyone finds out the truth right now, then I guess we’ll have an ending.

Khun Id’s resistance to returning Korya’s ring stems from his jealousy and misunderstanding that Chisanu had given Korya the ring. While Grand Aunt is in the hospital, Khun Id stops by to visit Korya, but saw her talking to Chisanu all intimately, and that the other man had his hands on her shoulders. He also learns from Payia that Chisanu stops by every day. Upset, Khun Id storms out of the palace, and only to be mean to Korya when she had seek him out the next day.

At first, his expression is elated that Korya would visit him at his office on her own accord. She must care about him right?

“What are you doing here?” he asks, “I heard that the palace is a mess right now. I’ve been real busy and didn’t have time to visit you. Sorry na,” he lies. What’s up with sulky pr’eks? When a girl comes to see you, you play hard to get LOL.

“It’s ok. I came to ask you for something.” The moment she asked for that “something” Khun Id’s already biased mind is flared.

She follows him through the company until they reached his office.

“Did you hear what I said?” she questions. “I have a ring that was with me (before the accident) and now it’s with you.”

“I’ll look for it when I have time. I’m real busy right now,” he says dismissively.

His assistant, Subahn, overhears them and perks up, “So you’re looking for a ring?”

Korya grabs his hands with excitement, “do you happen to know where it is? I need it asap!”

Probably not the wisest thing to say to the hot headed Khun Id right now. His eyes turn into slits.

“Well I don’t recall where I’ve placed it. I’ll return it to you when I find it,” he replies nonchalantly.

“Then I’ll just get out of your hair.”

“I can’t drive you back. I’m busy,” he repeats (so mean by the way), while looking at the blueprint plan upside down. LOL.

When Korya left the room, Subahn sets his eyes on his boss. “Why did you lie to her?”

Subahn procures the ring from its place in the drawer, “you look nice but now you want to be a thief?!”

They wrestle for the ring. Khun Id wins of course.

“I’m not returning it, whatcha gonna do about it?” he says angrily, “earlier they were holding hands and now she wants to come back for his ring?! Dream on.”

He glares at Subahn as if Subahn is Chisanu, “And you remember this- the only ring she will ever wear is mine!”

Ay ay, captain.

All in all, this episode is quite sad and touching, saying goodbye to Grand Aunt. Now we essentially have to start over, from Granddad’s perspective and get him caught up with the evil doings of Payia. Also, Chisanu has refused to continue his education abroad. He doesn’t want to leave Korya in the wolf’s hands (Payia) and has decided to go against his parents’ wishes.

What now? Will Id do the right thing by returning the ring? Will Granddad finally learn that Payia isn’t indeed his grandkid? And finally, will Korya get her memories back? Lakorn gods at least give me more scenes with Khun Id and Korya, if you know what’s good for you! (But I still heart this lakorn!)

Until next week folks!

*[Ep 9 Preview:]

Korya: If I get my ring back, we may discover who actually killed Khun Ying.
Id says with a smile: I will return the ring back to you.

In the scene with Payia, Khun Ying and the Mistress, both mom and daughter spot the large pearl ring and are instantly shocked. Must be wondering how she acquired the ring that belonged to Grand Aunt! The mistress is even wearing the earrings.

Granddad: everything that happened is definitely not a coincidence.
Mae Cheun: the person behind this could be the same person who is after Korya and Khun Ying. (Oh, indeed.)

Final cut, Khun Ying sees her daughter on the phone and comes after her.

OMG!! You are fast!! I didn’t even watch it I skimmed instead!! Oh gosh!! I am so sad that grand aunt passed away! I am now afraid that Payia will go for the grandpa!! UGH I hate lakorns lol I am getting soo scared!! UGH i have a feeling that the mother will know too! But does Id’s dad mistress have the ring or what? Why was Payia shocked when she saw Noppdara’s ring and then looked at the mistress???Thank you so much Love fia!!

So fast that I left out the tidbit about the ring. So Nop (Payia’s ex BF whom is hired to get rid of Grand Aunt) wanted to make the murder look like a theft so he stole her jewelry. However Payia told him to drag grand aunt some place secluded to kill her. Yet before he could do so grand aunt escapes but gets run over by a truck. When he goes home, his sugar momma (Id’s dad’s mistress) thought that he is seeing someone else. She interrogates him until she opens his overnight bag and discovers the ring, necklaces and money. She doesn’t know who it belongs to, but knows that perhaps Nop is seeing another sugar momma much more wealthier than her. She keeps the ring and pearl necklace. Should be interesting if shed ides to wear them and gets recognized!
Regarding Payia paling at the image of grand aunt pointing to Korya’s ring finger before she passes away- she knows that grand aunt knows that Korya may be the true heir. Granddad also peered at Payia when he told his dying sister that he will be the one to take care of everything (including finding the culprit!)
Let me know if I can clarify anything else! I sometimes get distracted by the lovely Toomtam and Cherebelle and just want to focus on them too much lol! I’ll be happy to summarize other confusing scenes for you or other readers.

Lol! Thanks for the clarification! Haha yes yes u are too fast! Haha I hope Id gives back the ring quick however not too soon since payia is so fast that she’ll find out and also steal the ring! Ugh this is really making me mad! Id and gorya soo cute together but Id being jealous is not a good thing right now! Thanks so much again!;)

Tooomtam will be more lovely if he could give Korya’s ring back to her, even thought this ring is related to Chisanu as he thinking. But exactly not :). That would be the good character of P’ek if he doesn’t hide that ring from Korya.

Yes, I saw in high-light scene for next week, he said to Korya. But I don’t know what he said. I guess he might tell to Korya that he saw it, but don’t know he give her or not.
Anyway, your recap extremely good for me reading. Thanks you so much.

Omg, so sad that the grand aunt passed away. Man, why do they need so many deaths? It was the same in the old version. I hope they don’t kill off the grandfather but from the opening and ending teasers, that will probably come. The maid also was dealt with by Payea and her henchmen. In the old version, Chisanu was actually two characters which they morphed into one in this version. One of them passed away also. I really hope nothing happens to him. He’s a rival to Id and as obsessed with Korya as Id but I actually like him, not as much but still. I know what will happen but I hope they don’t drag things on for too long with Payea going on her murder spree. I really need more Toomtam and Charebelle moments. No longer stealing kisses and joking around, only jealousy. I miss the cuteness so much. I hope they give us more moments next week. Thanx for the recap. I still havent’ seen the raw and am just trying to find the preview for next week.

I’m indifferent to Singto as Chitsanu. I think he overacts a lot, probably has to do with the fact that his first experience in acting is from a play. While Toomtam also acted in a play first, he’s so much more compelling onscreen. I’m still into this drama, if anything, to spazz over Id and Korya 🙂

Kinda sad that Grand Aunt passed away…I kinda like her character..Oh, I want more of Id and Korya..They look so cute arguing with each other plus Subahn is really funny!! Can’t wait for the next episode!
